“This was our first time using both Rover and Michael to look after our two dogs and home while we were away on holiday,and the service we received was great. From the initial first contact and home visit through to the personal handover on our return was just what we needed. We returned to happy dogs and a well looked after home.”
“Scooby had another wonderful break with Cath, who was flexible and accommodating after a last minute glitch to the arrangements. I know he's always in safe hands and will be well looked after with Cath. Thank you.”

About: I am currently a third year veterinary nursing student with a passion for providing the best care to all pets. I have had my dog for almost 13 years and prior to that, we would dog sit for family friends going away. With my profession I am comfortable with caring for all kinds of pets including reptiles and rodents. I also have experience medicating a myriad of species so would be happy to assist with this if your pet(s) require anything throughout the day. Growing up I've volunteered and worked at a number of different kennels and catteries local to me and I have since been volunteering at a cat sanctuary for almost three years and love spending my free time with animals. I am a very active person with my favourite hobbies being walking and going to the gym so you can rest assured I would meet your pets exercise and enrichment needs to keep them happy and settled in your absence. My services include home boarding with your pets, walking, bathing, medicating, house visits and spending quality time with your pets in your absence. I’m currently working part time so my mornings and evenings are typically free on the days I work and I have the whole day free on my days off to spend with your fur-babies I’m comfortable keeping your pets as close to their typical routine as possible to keep them stress-free. I can walk and medicate at the same times of day and can regularly update you with pictures for piece of mind
“What a lovely couple - really friendly, absolutely BRILLIANT with Diego! It was obvious to see he had a really great time and was chilled and happy! Thank you so much - will defnately book you again when I need a sitter and will recommend you to everyone!”

About: Ever since I was younger I have loved dogs of every kind! I have looked after dogs since I can remember and love every second! I have a full time job but in my spare time I would love to look after your pets and to put their safety at the top of my priority. I hope you choose me to look after your babies as I will make sure they live the life of luxury! Tell me your preferences and I will do my very best to make them happen! I work a full time job but it is shift work with emergency services so this means that I can fit around the normal 9-5 schedule. I see this side hustle as a luxury rather than a money making opportunity! My home is pet free so no worrying about other dogs, it has a fully fenced garden that is big enough for toilet breaks and a little run around. As well as this I have a children free home so their time with me would be fully theirs! I have a great big park by my house that has space for a nice run around. Obviously this purely depends on lead preference.
About: I’ve had my cat since she was 8 weeks old—she’s now around 2 and a half, happy, healthy, and spoiled! Since joining Rover, I’ve also looked after a puppy named Reuben for about 6 weeks, and I’ve completed a few cat sitting jobs. I understand the care and attention pets need, and I’m always happy to help other pet owners feel at ease when they’re away. I’m currently unemployed and looking for work, so I’m fully available for pet care. I enjoy spending time with animals and like to keep busy with side hustles and helping out other pet owners. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine right now. I live in a spacious ground floor flat with a small shared garden. It’s very cat-friendly with toys, a cat tower, and cozy spots to relax. My cat enjoys going out on nice days and always comes back home safely. Pets are welcome on the sofa and bed—just like my own! I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for animals.

About: I’d say what sets me apart is how attentive and patient I am with every pet I look after. I take the time to understand their individual personalities, routines, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m experienced with both young and senior pets — I’m happy to help reinforce basic training for puppies, and I’m also gentle and mindful when caring for older animals who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra attention. I’m reliable, communicative, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they’re not just looked after, but genuinely cared for and happy Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins. I make sure I’m available for consistent care throughout the day, whether that’s morning and evening walks or regular companionship. On a weekly basis, I keep my schedule flexible so I can adapt to each pet’s needs, including longer stays or more frequent visits if required. I prioritise reliability and routine, so pets feel comfortable and well cared for at all times. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure the environment is secure, clean, and calm, with plenty of space for them to relax and feel at ease. I’m attentive to routines, feeding instructions, and any specific needs like medication or mobility support. I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel comfortable with me, and I keep a close eye on their behaviour and wellbeing at all times. I’m also happy to provide regular updates, so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Georgia, looked after my cat George again yesterday and again like last time she was amazing! Keep me informed throughout the whole time via messages and video. Was so understanding with his needs. Thank you Georgia for all your help 😻x”

About: I have been training my dogs with a professional dog trainer for 5 years so I have lots of handling skills and knowledge.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Blackpool
Lily & George have been FANTASTIC! We highly recommend!! They came to stay with Riddick whilst we were away getting married! From the get go they have been fab to communicate with and came to meet us for a walk before the initial booking to ensure we were comfortable and most importantly ensure Riddick was. Lily & George kept us updated throughout the week with photos and messages! They even kindly collected the order of Riddicks food for us as we had embarrassingly miscounted and ran out! On our return the house was immaculate and Riddick looked great!!! He was certainly one happy dog after being looked after so well! Not only that Lily & George went above and beyond and even bought us a wedding gift which we were totally surprised and touched by! Thank you so so much to you both… we will definitely book with you again xx

FAQs for House Sitting - Blackpool
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Blackpool on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Blackpool walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Blackpool choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
